Ingredients Youโll Need
- Peanut Butter – Use only natural peanut butter and make sure it does not contain an artificial sweetener called Xylitol, which can be very dangerous to dogs. Find organic brands that are better, not just for pets, but for your whole family too.
- Bananas – Are great doggie treats because they are low in calories and high in fiber and vitamins. This will also make the Frozen Peanut Butter Banana Dog Treats super creamy and naturally sweet.
- Berries – You can use fresh or frozen berries of your choice. This is optional but will add great flavors to the dog treats!
- Fruitable Baked Treats – There are several flavors to choose from, and all of them go well with this recipe. You can use different flavors per piece so your dogs can have variety. If your dogs love these treats as they are, they will go bonkers over this summer goodie!
How to Make Frozen Peanut Butter Banana Dog Treats
Aside from the ingredients, you will also need a blender and fun freezer-friendly dog treat molds. If you do not have a blender, you can also use a food processor. We like using doggie bite-sized molds so they can eat the treats easily.
Once you have all of these, just follow these simple steps:
- 1) Make the Vegan Yogurt Mixture. Add the banana, peanut butter, and berries to the blender. Blend on high until you have a smooth and creamy mixture. Add two tablespoons of water if needed.
- 2) Assemble. Pour the vegan yogurt mixture into the prepared molds ยพ of the way. Grab some halved Fruitable baked treats and press them into the filled molds until submerged.
- 3) Freeze. Place the filled molds in the freezer for up to 6 hours or until they have properly set. Remove from molds and let your beloved pets enjoy themselves!
